Looks like Bellevue HS was shaping up to be a fruitful pipeline until Butch Goncharoff got pinched for being ahead of his time on the NIL front. I didn’t include Eastside Catholic despite multiple signees over the years because JTT and other highly coveted buddies told us? to fuck off
Eastside Catholic really wasn't that good until relatively recently.
Basically since Jason Gesser was their coach and started the recruiting process. Moving to the Sammamish Plateau and a new school building probably helped as well.
Three High Schools in less than a mile is just poor planning.
Also Skyline had a good little pipeline during their heyday.

It is odd but Eastlake is Lake Washington School District while Skyline is Issaquah School District and EC is private
Haven't had a football program to speak of since before I was there but it looks like they might be becoming competitive again. Perhaps some talent will be coming through again.

McDuffie, McGrew, Deven Bryant (and Goforth) OTW. Any other notables?
Naijiel Hale, Terrell Bynum and James Smith
Who could forget Hale Dogg and Darren G
I'm unable to resist this c/p
I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself I can't believe they're taking Darren's wealth They sold my couch, they took my xanax I looked at the popos and said "damn, what's next?"
They got my homey hemmed up and they all around Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown I besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down
They got guns to my head I think I'm going down I can't believe I moved to this fuckin town If I had wings I would fly Let me contemplate I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Hale
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole Hale Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold Now they droppin and yellin It's a tad bit late Hale Dogg and Darren G. had to regulate

Franklin has football? they were always decent at basketball

Had a great football program when they were Metro League. The move to Friday Harbor 4A completely destroyed them. I blame the new building. Well that and open enrollment forcing them to bus in white kids like me.

There was a time when their football was elite, and the basketball just so-so. Then Jason Terry lead an 8th place Metro League team to the state title in 94 and it was hoops basically from there on out. Well at least through Kerr being there. They are shit now.
The remodeled Franklin is actually what made it so enticing an powerful in the late 80's early 90's. Kids from the south end of the CD flocked to FQ (ie Corey Dillon), especially at a time that GHS was losing kids due to perception at the time surrounding violence, and the neighborhood (not that rainier valley was much better). But parents send their kids to new schools.

Maybe the Mighty Little Paintbrush softened those guys up
Huard and Smalls = 2 of the top 6 highest rated recruits at UW since they've been keeping track.
I still want to believe Sam can be good. I have nothing else to go off other than his name and stars, so it's pure doogish hope, but if he's not backing up Penix next year it's over.

His high school film was so good too. He was so accurate. I had such high hopes for him to be our big dick lefty gunslinger by this point.

The speed of HS and the speed of college are vastly different and a major reason why some HS phenoms can't translate to the next level. Even though he's more talented than DMo, Morris sees the field since he's more capable.

I saw this up close and personal...I played football in HS, in a good league with and against guys that went on to play in college. My first JUCO baseball corch gig, I was on the chain gang for home games (when WA still had JUCO FB). I was stunned at the speed, size and strength of the players. The closing speed, the violence of the collisions, the athleticism was nothing I had seen before, at the JUCO level. I had sideline passes a few tims at the Greatest Setting, and comping it to JUCO, it was about X 10...

BTW a good quick read:
